Bawse Ventures Transition Advisory
Selling a business Sucks
You spent a good chunk of your life building a company. A fantastic team of employees and executives. Customers who have trusted your name and your reputation for decades. Now that its time to think about your next adventure, parting with your life’s work is bittersweet. We’ve been there.
Don’t become Prey
Not all brokers are thoughtful, and most just spray and pray your company. Not all PE shops are malicious, but some may just want to fire your employees. There is often information arbitrage against a seller, since you might sell once or twice, but others can get very good at exploiting the edges over hundreds of transactions. There are those who would seek to make that their advantage.
Let us help
Bawse Ventures has seen the good, bad, and ugliest of situations that can happen as small and medium sized enterprises seek transition. Listings can linger for extended times, or deals fall apart at the 11th hour — often due to poor expectations or faulty materials. Unlike a broker, we can help you:
Present an honest story, driven by our buyer-side insight
Pre-clear due diligence hurdles and materials, with our legal and accounting teams
Cover likely terms and stumbling blocks with our capital partners
Partner with us
Sometimes, our group will be the right transition partner for you, and will work closely with you to ensure that your team, your customers, and your legacy are intact. Sometimes we aren’t and can help put your best foot forward to our deep network of acquirers. In any case, we’ve made it our mission to help the last generation of business owners retire on their terms, while also providing stewardship for the new generation.
